DOOR-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 19,1913.

Application filed November 11, 1912. Serial No. 730,668.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARON Kovlios, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door- Hangers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to door hangers, and the primary object of my invention is to provide a telescopic hanger that permits of a door being easily and quickly opened and closed, the hanger being compact and presenting a neat and attractive appearance in connection with a door.

Another object of this invention is to provide a door hanger with anti-frictional rollers that permit of a door being easily and safely shifted from one position to another.

A further object of this invention is to ac complish the above results by a mechanical construction that is applicable to various kinds of buildings, durable, easy to construct and highly eflicient as a movable support for a suspended door.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel construc tion, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein Figure l is a side elevation of a door hanger in accordance with this invention, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the hanger in an extended position, Fig. 3 is a similar view of a hanger casing, Fig. 4 is an end view of the same, Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the inner section of the hanger member, Fig. 6 is an end view of the inner section of a hanger member, Fig. 7 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the hanger, and Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a detached stop.

A door hanger in accordance with this invention includes a stationary hanger casing and a hanger section formed of an inner and an outer longitudinally shiftable section. I

The hanger casing comprises an oblong body having side walls 1 and 2 and end wall 3 and a top plate 4. The top plate 4 has the inner side thereof provided with recesses 5 and extending into said recesses are revoluble anti-frictional rollers 6 that are supported by plates 7 countersunk in the top plate 4.. The anti-frictional rollers are equally spaced throughout the length of said top plate. The side walls 1 and 2 are pro vided with inwardly projecting ledges 8 forming a longitudinal slot 9 and said ledges have anti-friction rollers 10 similar to the rollers 6.

The inner longitudinally shiftable section of the hanger member is slidably mounted in the casing between the rollers 6 and 10, said section comprising side walls 11, a top plate 12 engaging the rollers 6, an end wall 13 and a longitudinal strip 14 that provides two longitudinal slots 15. The side walls 11 are movably supported by the rollers 10 and one of said side walls is slotted, as at 16 to receive a stop 17 that is movably mounted upon the end of a screw 18. The side wall 2 of the casing is slotted, as at 19 whereby the stop can be placed in an opening 20 at one end of the slot, shifted to the opposite end of the slot and then the screw 18 tightened to hold the stop relatively to the casing, whereby said stop will limit the movement of the inner hanger section.

Movably mounted upon the strip 14 of the inner section is the outer longitudinally shiftable section of the hanger member which comprises a bar 21, straps 22, a door support 23 and a head 24. The bar 21 has the inner end thereof provided with an antifriction roller 25 that moves upon the strip 14 and said bar furthermore travels upon an anti-friction roller 26, carried by a block 27 at the outer end of the inner hanger section. The bar 21 has a depending pin 28 that engages the inner section of the hanger member and limits the movement of the outer section of the hanger member.

From the foregoing it will be observed that the sections can be easily extended or shifted to be housed partially by the hanger casing, and while in the drawing there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the structural elements are susceptible to such variations and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A door hanger comprising a casing open at one end and having its bottom wall formed with a longitudinal slot, anti-friction rollers carried centrally of the top wall of the casing and projecting into the latter, two sets of anti-friction rollers carried by the bottom wall of the casing and projecting thereinto, an inner hanger member section, mounted in said casing and traveling against said rollers and provided at its bot-;v tom with a track spaced from its sides to provide a pairof longitudinal sl0ts,.an outer hanger member section including anti-friction rollers traveling upon the said track,- extending through one end of said inner sectionanddown through the slots of said inner-section and through the slot of-thei casing,- sa-i'd caslng having one side-wall proremiss vided with a slot, and means carried by the inner hanger member section and extending in the slot in the side Wall of the casing and providing means for limiting the shifting movement of said inner section.

In testimony whereof I aflix lmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
